Lorraine Kember (born 1950) is an Australian author, blogger, caregiver advocate, and an inspirational and motivational speaker.
Her husband of more than 30 years, Brian Kember, was diagnosed with a rare cancer, malignant pleural mesothelioma, in 1999 when he was 52 years old. Brian was given three to nine months to live, but lived more than a year beyond that prognosis.[1]
After Brian’s diagnosis, Lorraine sold her retail business to become a full-time caregiver for her husband. Under Lorraine’s care, Brian lived for two years with pleural mesothelioma.[2]
